MILWAUKEE (AP) — Blake Perkins singled home the winning run in the ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 on Sunday.
The Brewers erased a 2-1 deficit by scoring in each of the final two innings to avoid the sweep. The Brewers have been swept just once, in their opening series of the season at Yankee Stadium.
Eric Haase hit a one-out bloop single to center off Cade Gibson (2-5) in the ninth and advanced to third on Brice Turang’s broken-bat double down the left-field line. Gibson intentionally walked Jackson Chourio to load the bases.
Perkins then lofted a 3-2 pitch well over the head of center fielder Dane Myers.
Perkins had scored the tying run in the eighth after entering as a pinch-runner, stealing second and coming home on Andrew Vaughn’s two-out, ground-rule double off Ronny Henriquez.
Milwaukee’s Trevor Megill (3-2) allowed a two-out double to Javier Sanoja in the top of the ninth, but right fielder Isaac Colins made a running catch of a fly ball to end the threat.
Miami’s Heriberto Hernández homered for a second straight game.
Miami led 2-1 and had runners on first and second with one out in the seventh when the Marlins ran themselves out of an inning. Aaron Ashby picked off Myers at second base. Ashby then caught Xavier Edwards leaning off first and threw to Vaughn, who threw Edwards out at second. Edwards initially was ruled safe, but a replay review overturned the call.
Chourio doubled twice and extended his hitting streak to 20 games. Paul Molitor had a franchise-record, 39-game hitting streak in 1987. The only other Brewers to have hitting streaks of at least 20 games are Davey May in 1973, Ryan Braun in 2011, Cecil Cooper in 1980 and Corey Hart in 2007 and 2010.
Miami heads to St. Louis for a three-game series. The scheduled starting pitchers for Monday’s series opener are Miami’s Edward Cabrera (4-4, 3.48 ERA) and St. Louis’ Andre Pallante (5-7, 4.91 ERA).
The Brewers open a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The All-Star pitching matchup features Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski (4-1, 2.45) and Chicago’s Matthew Boyd (11-3, 2.20).
